The Beverly Hillbillies - The actual mansion used for filming the show is located not in Beverly Hills, but in the adjacent enclave of Bel Air. The hulking 21,523 sq. ft. house, built in the style of a baronial French chateau, has an interesting history. As the story goes, a wealthy developer built the house in the 1930s as a surprise gift for his wife.

Pennsylvania Station was an historic railroad station. 1910-1963 It was considered a masterpiece of the Beaux-Arts style and an architectural jewel. The main waiting room, inspired by the Roman Baths of Caracalla, approximated the scale of St. Peter's nave in Rome, expressed here in a steel framework clad in plaster that imitated the lower wall portions of travertine. 150 feet high, it was the largest indoor space in New York City and one of the largest public spaces in the world.

The busiest train station in North America, New York's Pennsylvania Station was completed in 1910. It was a sparkling architectural example of the Beaux-Arts style. Nick leaves a party with Mr. Mc Kee and has a homosexual experience with him, before ending up passed out on a bench in Penn Station. "I was lying half asleep in the cold lower level of the Pennsylvania Station, staring at the morning Tribune, and waiting for the four o'clock train."

The original Penn Station in New York City, the most amazing Beaux-Arts building ever, designed by McKim, Mead and White and completed in 1910. Its demolition began in 1963. The Pennsylvania Plaza complex with the fourth Madison Square Garden was completed there in 1968.

Interior of the Woolworth Building (lobby), New York City

On a Manhattan tour it's not hard to see the Woolworth Building, as it dominates the skyline around City Hall. The great Cass Gilbert designed the structure, it was coined the Cathedral of Commerce, and at one point was the tallest building in the world. That doesn't mean that Cass didn't have a sense of humor. Here he is immortalized in terra-cotta inside the lobby.

In the lobby of the Woolworth Building in NYC, the architect, Cass Gilbert, portrayed himself holding a model of the building in a marble grotesque.

I would love to have a grand Christmas party at a place like this.
